Perhaps what you are suggesting is to swftly slipping in the new cartridge when ever the print head is "out for a walk" ?
No - there are three buttons on the printer, one for power, one to manually load or eject paper and one that you use to replace an empty ink cartridge when one of the low ink lights above it is flashing (Epson calls it the "cleaning button". To replace a cartridge when you do not have a low ink light flashing, you move the print head to the cartridge replacement position by pressing and holding the load/eject button for about 3 seconds.
Here is a link to the US version of Epson's web site for support on the Stylus Photo. Near the bottom under Documents and Manuals, is a link to download the manual for this printer in .pdf. Chapter 5, page 5-7 describes what you want to do under "Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge:

Thanks, Paul. Isn't what you are describing the normal procedure for changing cartridges? I guess my printer works a little different - it has very strange procedures for all "manual" operations. Perhaps what you are suggesting is to swftly slipping in the new cartridge when ever the print head is "out for a walk" ?

Jens -
Don't know if this will work on your model, but this procedure will work on
the Stylus 880.
Press the load/eject button for about 3 seconds until the print head starts
moving to the left and the power light begins flashing.
Do whatever changes you want to make with the ink cartridges
Press the load/eject again until the print head begins to move back to the right. The power light will begin flashing again and the printer will go through the ink charging process. When it's done, your set to go.

...It's "Epson Stylus Photo" - the exact and full name. It was one of the
firts photo realistic printers on the market. It's probably 4-5 years old,
but have printet less than 100 A4 pages through this time years.
